Do you know what etiquette is, how to do it, how to do it, and is the tradition still there?

Ancient Etiquette - Etiquette is etiquette and rituals. In ancient China, there was a saying of the Five Rites: 1

The sacrificial thing is auspicious; 2.The wedding is a gift; 3.The guest's business is a guest courtesy; 4.

The military service is a military salute; 5.The funeral is a murderous ceremony. Folklore believes that etiquette includes four kinds of life etiquette: birth, crown, marriage and funeral.

In fact, etiquette can be divided into two categories: politics and life. The political category includes the sacrifice to the sky, the earth, and the temple, the sacrifice of the ancestors and the saints, the drinking ceremony of respecting the teacher's township, the meeting ceremony, the military ceremony, etc. The origin of life etiquette, according to Xunzi, has [three books], that is, [the foundation of heaven and earth]; [The Ancestors of the Kind]; [The foundation of the rule of the master].

In the liturgy, the funeral was the first to arise. The funeral ceremony for the deceased is to appease their ghosts, and for the living, it becomes a ritual for the elders and the young, and to be filial and upright. In the process of establishing and implementing the rituals, the Chinese patriarchal system (see Chinese patriarchal law) was born, and the essence of the rituals was the way to govern people, and it was a derivative of the belief in ghosts and gods.

It is believed that everything is manipulated by invisible spirits, and that performing rituals is to curry favor with spirits. Therefore, the ritual originated from the belief in ghosts and gods, and it is also a special manifestation of the belief in ghosts and gods. The emergence of [Three Rites] marks a mature stage in the development of etiquette.

In the Song Dynasty, etiquette and feudal ethics and morality were integrated, that is, etiquette and etiquette were mixed, and it became one of the powerful tools for the implementation of etiquette. Salute to serve the persuasion of virtue, and red tape does its best. It was not until modern times that etiquette was truly reformed, and both the etiquette of the country's political life and the etiquette of the people's life were changed into a new content of non-ghostly deism, thus becoming the etiquette of modern civilization.
